	When Deadlock woke up from his repairs, Wing told him of how when the war started, the [[Circle of Light]] had convened and decided to depart, not wanting to get involved in the civil war. At first they only moved so far, but as the war spread across the galaxy they had to hide, and eventually formed the new Crystal City which Wing deemed a "utopia". Wing was then called to answer to [[Dai Atlas (Zone)\|Dai Atlas]] for not only going out to rescue the slaves, but bringing Deadlock back to Crystal City, exposing and therefore endangering their existence. Wing defended his decisions, saying that they had created their own faction and that they were giving up their morals in order to maintain their way of life. In the end, Dai Atlas charged Wing with guarding Deadlock.

	Wing had a discussion with Deadlock on what the Decepticon symbol stood for. After Deadlock confirmed Wing's suggestion that Decepticons are more powerful and therefore should rule, Wing told him to prove it and engaged him in a fistfight, neither party using weapons. After Wing subdued Deadlock, he said they will do this every day. If Deadlock ever won, he was free to go. If not, he was to stay in Crystal City. Deadlock claimed this wasn't fair as Wing has trained for years, Wing told him to learn. After weeks of fighting, Deadlock told Wing that he joined the Decepticons not for power, but to change the politically corrupt government. Wing told him that his spark was in the right place, but joining the Decepticons was the wrong way to do things. Wing told Drift to look around and see how the utopia of Crystal City was everything he wanted. Their session was interrupted when they were asked to go to the control room for an emergency.

	Later, Wing tracked down Drift and confronted him about leaving the city. Drift's only explanation was that he was a Decepticon. He left and met with Dai Atlas and other leaders of Crystal City to tell them that he had made a deal with alien Slavers to betray them. Dai Atlas demanded that Drift be locked up, despite Drift's insistence that he wanted to help them survive the attack. When questioned why he would be on their side, Drift echoed Wing's own words...that he found something worth fighting for. Despite protests from Dai Atlas, a small group of Cybertronians including Wing declared their intention to fight to save the city. {{storylink\|Drift issue 3\|Drift #3}}		Later, Wing tracked down Drift and confronted him about leaving the city.

	At the approach of the alien army, Wing explained to Drift the significance of the [[Great Sword]]s that each Cybertronian knight carried. The battle began with Wing coaching Drift to pace his fighting. The [[Braid\|leader of the alien Slavers]] singled Wing out as a particular nuisance and challenged him to combat. Drift and Dai Atlas could only watch as Wing was stabbed through his chest at the hands of the alien and perished. Wing's death so moved Dai Atlas that the leader gave the order to open the Crystal City vault where their weapons were kept and raise the city above ground. Dai Atlas led a group of Cybertronians himself against the Slavers, defeating them. Once the battle was over, the survivors gathered around Wing's body and Dai Atlas gave the fallen warrior's sword to Drift as a reminder of his change of heart. {{storylink\|Drift issue 4\|Drift #4}}		At the approach of the alien army, Wing explained to Drift the significance of the [[Great Sword]]s that each Cybertronian knight carried.
